Nagpur, India: A tragic accident occurred on Wednesday morning when a speeding car hit and killed an elderly woman and her nephew on Ramtek-Mouda Road near Hotel Rainbow. The victims, identified as 52-year-old Vijaya Bhimrao Thakrele and her 30-year-old nephew Sachin Mulchand Thakrele, were residents of Hamlapuri, Ramtek tehsil.
Sachin was returning home on his moped with his aunt after delivering food to his wife, who had just given birth at Oneway Hospital. As they were riding on their moped (MH-36/AM-1176), a Swift Dzire car (CG04/NH-6515) driven by 23-year-old Shankar Kishor Jaiswani from Raipur, Chhattisgarh, collided with them. Eyewitnesses reported that the car was being driven recklessly at high speed. The impact was so severe that both Sachin and Vijaya died on the spot.
Shankar, who was found to be intoxicated at the time, was caught by passers-by and handed over to the police. Three other occupants of the car, including 39-year-old Pankaj Motiram Nagwani, were also detained for questioning.
The sudden deaths of Vijaya and Sachin have left their family and community in deep shock. Sachin, who was known for being caring and responsible, was especially excited about the recent birth of his child.
The news of the accident quickly spread, and thousands of villagers from Hamlapuri and nearby areas rushed to the Sub-District Hospital, where the bodies were taken for postmortem. Ramtek Police have registered a case of culpable homicide not amounting to murder against the driver, Shankar Kishor Jaiswani. The investigation is ongoing, led by PI Prashant Kale.
This incident serves as a stark reminder of the dangers of drunk driving. Police have urged the public to avoid driving under the influence and to prioritize road safety to prevent such tragedies.
